EmoWolf
EmoWolf hates Java, and would rather kill itself than participate. EmoWolf has starved itself, but still weighs 177 bytes.

LazyWolf
Aptly named, this guy does the bare minimum to survive. The only non-wolf threat is a lion, so he will move if one of those is about to step on him. Other than that, he just sleeps.
There's not much you can do against wolves that will be better than 50/50, so he just doesn't do anything. If a wolf attacks him, he chooses an attack in an evenly ...

Simply goes with last round's minority, just because everything else is mainstream.

Darwin - C
Who needs strategy, anyway?
Have a group of cavemen go at each other and let natural selection do the rest!
We use a very simple model for out caveman's primitive brain: it has no memory and only takes the sharpness of his and his opponent's stick into account.
Those are used as the variables for a binary polynomial of some finite order.
Each ...

The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing
Runs away.
It prioritizes running away from Wolves the most, since they're going to be the most dangerous. Next are Lions, since they're nondeterministic. Bears and Stones are both not at all a problem, but we still run away from them if we have nothing better to do because a Wolf killing a Bear or a Stone is, at that moment in ...

C++, The Meta Scientist
This one does essentially the same as The Scientist, but doesn't operate on rounds as a whole but on the individual players. It tries to map a wave (or a constant function) to each player separately and predicts their move in the next round. From the resulted round prediction, The Meta Scientist chooses whichever side looks like ...

Pony (Python 2)
This is based on a rock-paper-scissors bot I wrote some time ago for a programming challenge at the end of a Udacity online class. I changed it to include Spock and lizard and made some improvements.
The program has 11 different simple strategies, each with 5 variants. It chooses from among these based on how well they would have performed ...

The BlackHatPlayer
The BlackHat Player knows that bullets and shields are a thing of the past; the actual wars are won by those who can hack the opponent's programs.
So, he puts on a fixed metal shield and starts doing his thing.
The first time he is asked to fight, he tries to localize his enemy in memory. Given the structure of the fighting ...

BaitBot - JavaScript Node.JS
Why bother chasing or running if you can never catch? Instead, BaitBot finds the nearest coin and waits for a weaker bot to also approach it. When they're both adjacent, baitBot goes for the coin assuming the weaker bot will as well. If baitBot is waiting and a stronger bot approaches, he just grabs the coin and skedaddles. Try ...

When you've seen as many patients as the cave doctor, you begin to truly understand the cave man psyche (or so I hope). Cave doctor's game is pure strategy, he waits for pokes which he blocks in an attempt to disarm his opponent, but he won't let that opponent get close to making ...
